In regression analysis, PTDM (odds ratio = 1.05: 95% CI 0.078–1.333; P-Value = 0.014), and low serum adiponectin level (odds ratio = 0.94: 95% CI 0.902–0.996; P-Value = 0.032) were independently associated with hepatic steatosis among lean liver transplant recipients (Table 4). Here, ADIPOQ is linked to fatty liver disease.
